You're evidently okay with the atrocities being committed. You excuse the inflicting of suffering and devastation on non Americans for a selfish benefitting of the soldiers committing and abetting them directly, and moreover to the benefit of scumbag elites who are incentivized to continue perpetrating acts of aggression, crimes, and atrocities, placing profits over people as always.

Smedley Butler's conclusions apply to every American soldier.

Rich of you to apply the conclusion of a decorated 34 year marine corps general... Who yes said soldiers are pawns for imperialism. It's a rough life sacrificing your values to provide for your family, but if you bring people into this world you better take care of them.

Take care of them by....? Taking out other families in other countries?

Do you also apply this to people who bring families into the world and then must defend those families by killing US soldiers who have no business being there and are trying to kill them?

That doesn't change the fact you support all the above.
